Zone of the Enders Sequel Confirmed

During a promotional event for the Zone of the Enders HD collection in Japan this week, Hideo Kojima revealed that a new sequel to Zone of the Enders is on the way.

According to Kojima, Kojima productions has begun work on the game, which is currently being developed under the code name Enders Project. The game is in an “early prototyping phase” as staff members test the capabilities of the studio’s internal Fox engine. Currently, the studio is making character models and “converting them into Fox engine assets.”
